Schlotzky’s owner says current employees are legal

Dallas Morning News. The current owner of a Schlotzky’s restaurant in Rockwall that was the target of an immigration crackdown under previous ownership said Friday that all current employees of the business are in the country legally.

Viral Patel bought the sandwich shop from Ann Cox, a former special agent with the FBI in Dallas, in December 2008. Cox was charged late last month with knowingly hiring illegal immigrants to work at the shop from 1997 to 2008.
